Tickets for the Manhattan Theatre Club production of LoveMusik — marking the return of director Harold Prince to the Broadway musical — will be available exclusively to American Express cardholders starting Feb. 14.

The public on-sale date is March 2. Opening night at MTC's Biltmore Theatre is May 3, following previews from April 12.

Tickets are available by visiting Broadway.yahoo.com, by calling Telecharge at (212) 239-6200, by visiting www.Telecharge.com, or by visiting the Biltmore Theatre Box Office (261 West 47th Street).

Ticket prices are $76.25- $101.25.

According to MTC, "LoveMusik follows the lives of the unlikeliest of lovers — the brilliant, intellectual German composer Kurt Weill (Tony Award winner Michael Cerveris) and the woman who became his muse and star, Lotte Lenya (two-time Tony Award winner Donna Murphy). LoveMusik is an epic romance, set in Berlin, Paris, Broadway and Hollywood, spanning 25 years in the lives of this complicated couple."

Featuring a full range of Kurt Weill songs and a book by Alfred Uhry (the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy and Parade), LoveMusik will be directed by Harold Prince, the 21-time Tony Award winner, who has staged such musicals as The Phantom of the Opera, Cabaret, A Little Night Music, Follies, Evita and Sweeney Todd.

The production will also star David Pittu and John Scherer. Patricia Birch (A Little Night Music) will provide the musical staging.

Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

Subscriptions to MTC can be obtained by calling (212) 399-3030, Monday-Friday, noon-8 PM with a major credit card. Subscriptions are also available online at www.ManhattanTheatreClub.com.
